jagfox Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 What do the IRA have to do with Celtic? A lot of their fans sing about them but very few if any praise brother Walfrid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No a return to the winning days on the pitch I see he is also matching pound for pound what Rangers first make. Edit and what the RST make. Surely for every fiver they put in, he should put in a tenner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBattleFever Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Did he not say he is only willing to invest on a pound for pound basis with the fans .... Will that strategy even raise enough to pay Mike's loans back? He'll go pound for pound with them and then gave them the shares. That isnt anything to do with the actual money he's going to put into the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say this promise falls into the "glib" category, or is it more "shameless", d'you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipper Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You don't get it. Everyone is welcome at Celtic. Most Celtic fans on this forum are not 4th or 5th generation Irish or Catholic. Why should people forget their roots. Would you expect Scots in other countries to forget their roots? No one should forget their roots or apologise for them. The point being made is that both Hibs and United have embraced their Scottishness much more than Celtic which has resulted in a much wider fan base . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~~~ Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 i do have a problem with the playin of Irish Rebel music before games...I do have a problem with them wearing Famine badges on their strips yet not wearing poppies on them. You'll just need to learn to live with it. Oh, let's not forget Celtic donate every year to Poppy Scotland, I'm sure they appreciate the money more than seeing a poppy on a football kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Shite comparison Also, they put in a lot more than just a tenner. They would be far more credible if they just chose not to observe remembrance. By throwing money at the poppy society it is just paying for bad behaviour. Not opposed to Celtic choosing not to take part, that is absolutely their right, but don't think throwing some pennies (or loads of pennies) somehow puts you on the high ground. It doesn't. Don't get me wrong money is important and it goes to excellent causes but the message of remembrance is not 'lets raise money'. Frankly I find the idea of donating money but not participating a bit offensive, it cheapens the occasion and misses the point. But I'm not going to dwell on the ins and outs of a club that supports racists and fuels bigotry. Lets dwell on the other cheating c***s across the city. The time lines are going to be interesting here, am I right in thinking the egm would be the same day as one of the SFA hearings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Must be incredibly embarrassing for them to have this 'favoured status'. It's a bit like Saddam Hussein marking his sons Higher exams and giving them 110% each. Sorry but that is utter pish. We all know that if Saddam's laddies only got 110%, he would have had them skinned alive and rolled in salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Clipboard saying he's been told the loanees must play. Big Mike's even picking the team. Please please please let McCulloch be one of the players who drops out was my first thought. Bigger picture is looking terrible though..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The point being made is that both Hibs and United have embraced their Scottishness much more than Celtic which has resulted in a much wider fan base . You will be able to back that up? The point that should have been made is that, while in no way denying their roots, other teams have moved on and embraced the communities where they are situated. Coincidentally, these clubs have no pretensions of being anything other than sports clubs. Any suggestions why, when many of them never attend any kind of church service, the supporters define the "other" principally by way of their chosen method of worship? (You'll notice I don't use the word "religion", because the stereotypical divide is between two sects of the same religion - one based, incidentally, on love and forgiveness) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The point that should have been made is that, while in no way denying their roots, other teams have moved on and embraced the communities where they are situated Celtic could be said to have embraced their community also. If they were based in Ventersdorp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipper Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You clearly have no clue what demographic means in statistical analysis in relation to anything do you? Demograhic - the statistical characteristics of human populations (as age or income) used especially to identify markets. 2 : a market or segment of the population identified by demographics. As I said, if you were inferring that Celtic are any less capable of attracting support from "all backgrounds" you are talking out of your hole .. in fact it's likely to be the opposite since our supporters are drawn from a wider geographical area (courtesy of your last rambling post .. trying to stray off point). The effect being; the backgrounds of our customers are likely to be more varied ... If you weren't inferring that the other three teams were better or different from Celtic at attracting fans from all backgrounds ... you could simply have said so ... though it's a bit late in the day since you appear to have picked it up and tried to run with it ... Were the words I used too complicated? You really are a rude individual, incapable of being objective about anything you are close to and who resorts to insults to cover up your inadequacies.Your claim that because Celtic draw their support from a wider geographical area somehow improves their demographic profile has got to be a joke and shows to me and everyone else who read it that it is you who has little understanding of demographics. It's true what they say , "A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
